Family really counts. And quite so, in this case.
A 72-year-old man from India's northeast state of Mizoram holds the record of being the head of the world's largest family. His family consists of 181 people - 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law, and over 40 grandchildren.
The 181-sized family keeps growing as his sons and daughters add more members to the family.
Ziona, along with his large family of 181 lives in the Ziona Mansion - a giant purple concrete structure with four storeys and more than 100 rooms.
The four-generation family is self-reliant and does farming for their food requirements. What's more, Ziona has established his own school for his children, according to online reports.
Feeding such a big family is not an easy task as the family consumes 50 kg of rice and up to 70 kg of meat every day. The tasks for the day are divided between the wives and other family members with the oldest wife coordinating the chores among others.  
Ziona is happy to take care of his big family and considers himself lucky. He is said to marry poor women in the village and provide for them.
